HORIZON BANDS

Good afternoon band families,

Thank you for coming out to our Showcase yesterday, it was so much fun to see what the students have been working on, we can’t wait to see how the show evolves through the season, but the Marching Hawks are off to a fantastic start!

Our first marching competition is two weeks away, and we are busy preparing. If your student has food allergies, please shoot us an email and let us know what it is. If they have severe allergies, we would suggest that your student pack their own meals for competition days. We try to accommodate the best we can, however, we would hate for anyone to have a bad reaction to meals that are provided. Next Sunday, we will be attaching the Meal Train for the Legacy Competition, keep a lookout for that.

We have a busy week ahead:

Monday: Rehearsal 6-9pm 

Friday: Homecoming football game (Details to be given by Mr. Dailey)

Saturday: Broomfield Day’s Parade (Details to be given by Mr. Dailey)

**If you ordered a button and did not pick it up, we will have them at rehearsal tomorrow evening from 8-8:50pm, we will be sitting in the stadium**

If you didn’t order a button, but would like one, we have opened up the order form one more time, please fill out this form AND pay by Wednesday 09/17. Button Order Form

We are still in need of volunteers to man the concession stands for the Homecoming Football game this Friday evening, if you would like to help us out with this, sign up here: Homecoming Concessions Sign Up

Our students will be marching in the Broomfield Day’s Parade next Saturday 09/20. Here is a link to the Broomfield Day’s website: Broomfield Day’s Information

Please let us know if you have any questions! Have a great week!

Good afternoon band families! 

We have a lot of information to share so please read the entire email.

First off, we would like to thank everyone who participated in our online fundraising campaign, it has been a huge success. Not only were we able to purchase new field mics, a new sound board and cart, but we were able to purchase new wireless solo mics and new speakers. This is a huge, much needed upgrade for the band. We are grateful for everyone’s generosity and help with this. As we always say, it takes a village to run a music program, and we have a truly amazing village…thank you!

We have a lot happening this week, including our kick off to competition season, our Showcase event.

The HHSBPA has the opportunity to run the concessions stand during the Homecoming football game on Friday, September 19th at the North Stadium. We need 10 parents to volunteer to work the concessions. You would need to be at the stadium at 5:30pm. Unfortunately, you will not be able to watch the halftime show, however, the band will not be performing their entire show. This will help raise money for the band. If you would like to work the concessions, please sign up here: Concessions Sign Up

We are also in need of chaperones for upcoming events, including the Homecoming game. If you would like to chaperone, please sign up here: Chaperone Sign Up

Lastly, the student account’s should all be up to date as of last Tuesday, 9/2. Our HHSBPA Treasurer will make sure that she has updated all the accounts again before the last payment is due on September 26th. After that, she will have the accounts updated by the first of every month. Please be kind and remember that with all the students’ accounts to manage, plus the general fund, we are unable to update every account weekly, as we are entirely a volunteer-based organization and have our own full time employment to provide for our own families. We do our best to run the band’s accounts and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding when things are not updated immediately. If you have questions regarding your account, feel free to email us, if we are unable to answer your question, we will pass your question onto our treasurer. 

If you have any questions, please reach out. We look forward to seeing everyone next Saturday at the Showcase!

Good evening band families,

We have had an amazing first week of our online campaign! Because of your help with getting this campaign out to others, and the work of our students, we have raised almost $30,000 in less than 1 week! We have been able to purchase new field mics, solo mics, a sound board, and a new sound cart. We would still love to hit our goal of $50,000, which would help us fund our transportation for the year, and purchase other new musical equipment that is desperately needed. Please continue to share our campaign with your family, friends, neighbors, co workers, and your social media accounts. Every bit counts! Online Fundraising Campaign

This week we have our first football game. The game is on Thursday at North Stadium. We are still in need of chaperones and help with the Hawk Haulers. If you would like to help, sign up here: 

Chaperone Sign Up

Hawk Haulers Sign Up

If you sign up to chaperone, please be sure to go through the school’s Raptor Check. You need to go to the front office of the school and give them you driver’s license, it takes all of a couple minutes. If you have questions about helping with either of these, please email me, I would be happy to answer any questions.

We are also needing more snacks and water for football games and competitions. If you are able to donate water or individually wrapped snacks (gold fish, cheese its, granola bars, fruit snacks, etc…) please drop it off in the band room before or after Monday night rehearsals. 

If you purchased a senior banner, please find us at the stadium and hang their banner on the fence to celebrate our seniors! Please make sure that either you grab their banner after the game, or you arrange for another parent to grab it. Also, the photographer still has all the images from the photo shoot and has made those available for purchase, if you are interested follow this link: Senior Banner Photos

If you would like to order a button with your students picture in their uniform, please fill out this form AND make the $10 payment by Tuesday night. We will be taking photos on Thursday (make sure you let your student know they need to get their photo taken if you ordered buttons, we will have the list, but we want to make sure everyone gets their picture taken).
